Runner Up offers a unique dining experience with well-sourced, seasonally appropriate food served in a cozy, intimate setting. The restaurant is very small, with no more than 8 seats, creating a close and personal atmosphere. The chef's simple yet flavorful dishes excite both the visual mind and palate, and the changing pre fixe menu offers variety and surprises each week. The house roll and yuzu butter are melt-in-your-mouth delights, and the rib eye and beet greens are highly recommended. Outside of the pre fixe, guests enjoy appetizers like the Caesar salad, which has a bright acidity, and beef tartare served with chips. The restaurant also has an affiliated bakery and butcher shop called Winner, which the chef uses for some ingredients. The wine list complements the food perfectly, and the service is attentive and friendly. Overall, Runner Up provides a memorable and fantastic meal, making it a great choice for those seeking a casual, intimate date spot with excellent food and wine.
